I think he may play a near first choice starting line up. Maybe Fisher for Vigs.

The win and the manner of the performance are two different things though.

I’m with FB if we take each game individually, 3 points regardless of the performance. But we have to look at the bigger picture and understand we are not going to win every game playing badly. We need a plan, a strategy, a set of tactics that increase our chances of winning every game.

This is why I don’t think Sheehan is the right coach because I see nothing inventive or training ground driven in any of the games. Every game is the same and I don’t see too much of an improvement. Don’t forget, our 4 wins this season are against the teams in the bottom 4. That’s not a coincidence.

But just for the record, delighted with the win and 3 points yesterday😁

It may not be to do with the legs but to do with Idah getting time. If he knows he’s going off to facilitate that then he can put more energy in.

As I said in another post, I really have no idea though.

I thought this was on TV but can’t see it. I can see Spurs v Newcastle, the sort of game you can see week in week out but not our game???

Not even S4C could be bothered🤬

Maybe, maybe not. I really don’t know but I think there could be something in the 60 minute flat out theory to be honest.

I think J247 made an excellent point on another thread where Vipotnik puts everything into 60 minutes as it’s predetermined he’s coming off at that point.

Totally agree about Widell.

No ‘think’ about it 247, it certainly papered over the cracks. No real efforts on goal from rehearsed plays, just two brilliant thunderbolts.

That win, as welcome as it is has given me no more confidence in Sheehan sadly. We need an experienced coach and tactician which Sheehan is not.

Sorry to sound like a Res (a stuck record) but it’s an important point I believe😁

Certainly proved a lot of doubters wrong today.

I’ve a little sympathy with Sheehan to be honest. He didn’t know he was going to score the second. Thankfully he did.

But it’s a squad game, a long season with lots of games in compressed periods of time. Idah needs to get game time.

I was hoping when I saw him coming on that he’d replace Cullen but that never happened.

Indeed. A much larger sport out there than here except the RL heartland of the north of England.

Long contracts won’t keep them here. It will just get us a better price. We need to get a team sticking together to get momentum going.

I’ll say this, if the team don’t start performing and looking like top 6 contenders there are going to be temptations coming both Galbraith and vip’s way this season. We need to be in a position whereas even if we don’t get to the POs this season, we look like getting there next with a few additions to be able to hold onto our better players.

Yes, we sat back after the first and were pretty clueless. I think we were better after the second and contained them reasonably well but I share your concern as to why we do this. It maybe lack of confidence and fear of losing what we’ve just gained?

Maybe some of us are not that one dimensional FB? We can enjoy the 3 points whilst pointing out the bleeding obvious surely😉😁

I’m yet to be convinced by Sheehan to be honest. I like him as a person because he’s likeable but I see no coaching skills in him to be successful at this level. I want him to succeed but it’s going to take some much better performances than today to persuade me he’s the right man.

I’d rather play well and win.

That performance today was not good enough. We hardly had any touches in the box, there were 20 crosses into the box of which none were successful.

We huffed and puffed and even reverted to type after the first goal but better after the second.

My point has nothing to do with 3 points, they’re always welcome. It’s to do with the performance which will not be good enough to win many games this season unless Vip creates chances out of nothing.

This is down to Sheehan who hasn’t magically made himself a better manager because we won. We won today despite him not because of him.

Well they’re not wrong are they?

Yes, we won but again there were no moves out there creating havoc for the opposing defence. It was two individually brilliant goals that won it and thank God for Vipotnik.
